💰🏥Can increased funding translate into better primary healthcare? The Early Experience With Global Budget Capitation for Primary Health Care in Kenya policy brief examines Kenya’s shift to Global Budget Capitation under @_shakenya. While the reform has significantly increased funding reaching public primary healthcare facilities in Nairobi, timely payments and facility capacity remain critical challenges. 💡The findings highlight that financing reforms require more than increased funding. Predictable disbursements, facility-level financial autonomy, stronger financial management capacity and a stable health workforce are essential to translating resources into improved healthcare services. 📚Read the policy brief here👉: shorturl.at/9ziQ8

Last mile social and behaviour change in the sorghum value chain in Southern TZ
Juma, a last-mile seed delivery hero, faced challenges distributing <0.3 tons of sorghum seeds. With a smartphone from #AVISA #CIMMYT, he's using SMS to educate farmers, increasing distribution to over 2 tons across 7 villages. His goal? 10,000 farmers by December 2024!
